White Sox summon Hagen Smith and Tanner McDougal to the majors

The White Sox promote pitching prospects Hagen Smith and Tanner McDougal from Charlotte to Chicago ahead of Saturday’s game against the Guardians, adding potential bullpen upgrades as injuries and underperformance have strained the rotation. Smith has looked strong in relief since returning from a shoulder issue, with velocity around 95 mph, and McDougal has been sitting ~98 mph; both are highly regarded by MLB Pipeline and could factor into late-season high-leverage moments.

White Sox promote Braden Montgomery to majors, adding top outfield prospect to roster

The White Sox will promote top outfield prospect Braden Montgomery to the majors, adding him to both the 40-man and 26-man rosters. Lefty reliever Joe Rock is also joining the majors, while Rikuu Nishida and David Sandlin are optioned to Charlotte and Austin Hays is moved to the 60-day injured list to clear space. Montgomery has slashed .315/.417/.495 with four homers in 29 Triple-A games and has recently posted a 10-game hot stretch (.474/.580/.711), underscoring the club’s view of him as a long-term corner-outfield piece as it balances offense with pitching needs.
